It's an old machine so maybe your hittng the bootable address space limit? Don't remember the details. But the cure is creating a small (100 MB?) /boot partition as the first partition when you install. <div>On 8/1/06, david <<a href="mailto:papabeardk@comporium.net">papabeardk@comporium.net </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I have run into a problem, and have found this several times on several computers. The boot up process stalls. I loaded a HD with xubuntu 6.06 Installed the HD into an older Gateway system (PII 350, 256 mg Ram, 6 Gig HD, DVD Rom) The grub loaded and screen shifted to initial text Gets to Save Default and then Boot Then stalls. Normally the next line is the linux kernal starting up. I have found this several times on another machine, and ended up loading Suse on that machine. Has anyone else run into this, and found a solution?
